Meet Religion Reporters in Chicago & NY

Believe it or not, most news is religion news, whether we’re covering wars, terrorism, politics, immigration, bullying, holidays, you name it. Even when a story seems completely unrelated to faith, there are usually religion ghosts lurking between the lines.

Whether you’re a journalist, a blogger, a student, or someone simply interested in learning more about how national religion reporters cover your faith and other issues, check out these free events in Chicago and New York City next week:

Nov. 4, 1-4 p.m.: Covering Religion in the Shadow of 9/11Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, 2950 Broadway, New York, NY
Five religion writers — Samuel Freedman, Jaweed Kaleem (Huffington Post), Laurie Goodstein (New York Times), Ari Goldman & George Vecsey — talk about covering religion and how it has changed in the decade since 9/11. The audience will include visiting students from Colgate University and their professor, Chris Vecsey, author of “Following 9/11: Religion Coverage in The New York Times.” Event is co-sponsored by the Religion Newswriters Association and is open to RNA members and prospective members. Refreshments will be served. RSVP by Oct. 31 to Nicole Neroulias.
